Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1363: Start a tea garden! (Thanks to the lord Heihong Meifang for the reward!)

(Two-in-one chapter)

"Oh? Lord Hou, but you have your instructions, Zheng must fully cooperate!"

Yunshan Courtyard.

Heard that Li Zexuan wanted to do tea business, and he needed the help of everyone, Zheng Yinhong's expression changed and he quickly bowed his hands.

"I'm willing to help Lord Hou even after waiting!"

Cao Wendong and others also bowed their hands.

Li Zexuan nodded and said: "Okay! With your help, I will be more confident in doing this tea business! First, we must solve the problem of the source of tea. The dry weather in the north is not suitable for the growth of tea trees. So this tea must be picked from the south!"

Speaking of this, Li Zexuan looked at Zheng Yinhong and said: "The Lord sent this tea to the palace yesterday. After tasting the tea, he liked it very much. He decided to list the fairy tea as a tribute tea. The tea that is needed needs to be collected by the owner Zheng in the Jiangnan area!"

"Gongcha?"

Several people were shocked, and there was a huge wave in their hearts, but Zheng Yinhong's complexion changed, and said: "Hou Ye, Shenxian tea is listed as tribute tea, although it shows that its quality is unparalleled in the world, but once it is listed For tribute tea, this should not be sold freely among the people!"

When everyone heard the words, they came back to their senses, and Cao Wendong nodded in agreement: "Hou Ye, the owner of the village is right! Once the fairy tea is listed as a tribute tea, how can people enjoy it at will?" /

Li Zexuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "You can't say that. Today, the saint loves the people like his son, and likes to have fun with the people the most. Besides, we can make a batch of top-quality fairy teas specifically for the palace. As for the lower grades, they will be sold in the private sector. At that time, Shenxian tea will not be able to sell as much as it is known as tribute tea!"

At this time in the Tang Dynasty, there were no strict restrictions on court tribute. As long as the tribute was handed over to the court on time and as many places in various places, it did not mean that once something was listed as a tribute. It must not be sold in the private sector*. For example, cucumbers were always tributes before and during the Tang Dynasty, but couldn't the people eat them? Obviously not, as long as you have money, you can definitely buy it!

As for the court tribute tea, there is no precedent for this before. Zheng Yinhong and others are completely out of a foolproof attitude, so they have this worry!

"Hou Ye's trick is brilliant, but this fairy tea can be divided into three or six or nine grades?"

Feng Zhihua stroked his beard, wondering.

The tea they drank in the past were all ground and mixed with spices and cooked. How can there be any concept of tea classification?

Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said: "This tea can of course be divided into three, six or nine grades. Generally speaking, the shorter the buds and the tenderer the leaves, and the smaller the angle between the buds and leaves, the better the quality of the tea. Good! Therefore, the top fresh tea must have one bud and one leaf. The angle between the buds and the leaves is small, the buds are longer than the leaves, the buds and leaves are uniform and strong, and the length of the buds and leaves should not exceed one inch.

In addition, the method of frying should also be exquisite. In my opinion, the tea leaves after frying should be flat and smooth, very sharp and sharp, tender and fresh, even and heavy, with bud peaks exposed. In this way, top fresh tea leaves, Coupled with top-notch frying methods, it will naturally become top-grade fairy tea!

Use this top-quality fairy tea as a tribute, and sell the other slightly inferior teas, which not only preserves the saint’s face, but also allows everyone in the world to taste the delicacy of the fairy tea. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone! "

After hearing this, everyone nodded one after another, thinking that this plan was a good idea!

Zheng Yinhong convincingly said: "Hou Ye's research and accomplishments in tea ceremony can be called a great master. Zheng used to believe that he had studied tea ceremony quite a bit, but today he heard what Hou Ye said. Knowing that I am just a frog at the bottom of the well!"

"Eh~! Don't say that, Zhuang Master Zheng, in fact, these things are learned from the master, and they are not my own skills!"

Li Zexuan smiled, and then said: "Zheng Zhuangzhu, Ben Hou wants to establish a tea plantation in the Jiangnan area, but Ben Hou has been in Chang'an for many years, and there is no time to manage the tea plantation, so..."

"As long as Master Hou can trust Zheng, Zheng will be willing to manage the tea garden for Master Hou!"

As soon as Li Zexuan's voice fell, Zheng Yinhong immediately answered.

Cao Wendong and others are silent at this moment. Although they have business dealings with the south, they are not southerners after all. Unlike Zheng Yinhong, who has a huge base and extensive network in the south, they go to the south. To help Li Zexuan set up a tea plantation, they have more than enough heart but not enough energy!

Li Zexuan smiled slightly, and said: "Zheng Zhuangzhu’s kindness, Benhou has received it! It’s not that I can’t believe it, but because I’m so troubled with Zheng Zhuangzhu, Benhou will feel sorry for him! So Benhou wants to open a **** with Zheng Zhuangzhu Tea garden, specializes in picking and frying Shenxian tea, and Benhou is willing to share the frying method of Shenxian tea. Let's build the largest, most famous and top tea garden together!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

Everyone did not expect that Li Zexuan was willing to share the fry method of Shenxian tea. You must know that with the reputation of tribute tea and the high-quality taste and taste of Shenxian tea itself, as long as Li Zexuan solves the source of tea , You can earn endless wealth by relying on tea! After all, in the entire Datang, no tea merchant can come up with tea that can compete with Shenxian tea, so naturally there is no way to compete with Li Zexuan!

Zheng Yinhong is not a person who has never seen the world before, but at this moment he still can’t help showing a touch of emotion. He hurriedly bowed and said: “How can Zheng be with you? Master Hou builds a tea garden together? If Master Hou has the need, Zheng is willing to help Master Hou with all his strength, and Master Hou’s tea-frying method, Zheng will definitely not covet!"

As expected of someone who has seen the big scene, Zheng Yinhong still kept his heart in the face of huge interests. He is not stupid. Don't look at him in the sea of ​​commerce in the south of the Yangtze River. But Li Zexuan is a prince of the country and wants to pinch It is as easy to kill him as squeezing an ant to death. After all, the division of the social hierarchy of the scholar, farmer, industry, and commerce is not a joke. Therefore, his thoughts changed sharply, he considered it seriously, and still rejected this attractive proposal!

When Li Zexuan saw this, he could not help but nodded secretly in his heart, then he looked at Zheng Yinhong with a smile, and said: "Zheng Zhuangzhu, you are a businessman. We are now talking about business. It is fair to do business. You It’s not like doing business to help Ben Hou open a tea garden for free!

You should know that Benhou is not short of money, and he doesn’t like to overwhelm others. Therefore, if you are willing to help, Benhou will share 40% of the shares in the tea garden, and 40% of the income from the tea garden. , If you don’t want to help, it doesn’t matter, I just need to find someone else! "

Faced with such favorable conditions offered by Li Zexuan, all the people present were heartbroken. Cao Wendong and others all cast envy at Zheng Yinhong.

Zheng Yinhong constricted his brows and said nothing. From his frowning brows and stern face, he could still see that he was struggling violently in his heart. After a long silence, Zheng Yinhong finally spoke. He bowed to Li Zexuan and said:

"Hou Ye is upright and righteous, he is kind, and Zheng admires it! Since Lord Hou treats me with sincerity, the old man Zheng Yinhong swears here today that he will do his best to my Zheng family and manage him for generations. Good tea garden, if there is betrayal, I hope the men of the Zheng family will be slaves for generations and the women will be prostitutes for generations!"

He understands that to obtain Li Zexuan's secret tea-frying method, he must be loyal to Li Zexuan and make Li Zexuan completely believe in him, so he made this oath!

Everyone was sensational, and Li Zexuan couldn’t help his expressions move slightly. You must know that the ancients attached great importance to heaven, earth, ghosts, and oaths. No one dared to swear casually, let alone take Zheng Yinhong directly. Oaths are taken by their children and grandchildren!

Li Zexuan hurriedly helped Zheng Yinhong up and said: "Zheng Zhuangzhu does not need to be like this. The Zheng family has been doing business in the south of the Yangtze River for generations and believes most. Who does not know the trust of Zheng Zhuangzhu? Who does not believe?"

To be honest, there are two main reasons why he shared the secret recipe of fried tea so easily: First, his method of fried tea is not difficult to learn. Once Shenxian tea was launched, tea merchants all over the world worked together. He can definitely figure out his method of fried tea within a year. Instead of keeping the secret of fried tea, it is better to monopolize all the high-quality tea gardens in Jiangnan while the tea market is still blank. In this way, it is absolutely inseparable. Zheng Yinhong is a "ground snake";

Secondly, Li Zexuan actually didn’t plan to do tea business at the beginning. At most, he wanted to fry a small amount of tea for himself and give to people around him. He is now dedicated to advancing Datang’s basic technology. Take time to earn money for these tea businesses! He is not short of money! But Li Er listed Shenxian tea as a tribute tea, and let him be responsible for the tea supply of the palace in the future. Since he decided to be a "licking dog" yesterday, he had to "lick" it to the end. But he has no time, so he can only "delegate power" to Zheng Yinhong and the others!

Anyway, he relied on his current position, Zheng Yinhong did not dare to betray him, he believed Zheng Yinhong was a wise man!

Now, Zheng Yinhong made this oath to make him more sure that his judgment is correct!

Cao Wendong, who was on the side, nodded at this moment, and echoed: "The Zheng family is the most trustworthy in the business field. Everyone knows this!"

Zheng Yinhong glanced at Cao Wendong gratefully, and then handed over to Li Zexuan: "Master Hou is so sincere, but Zheng can't help but praise him. Zheng can only take 30% of the shares of the gods tea garden. If Master Hou is unwilling , Then Zheng can only forgive the hardship! But Zheng has an unrelenting request, I hope Lord Hou can agree!"

"Oh? Villa Master Zheng, please say!"

Li Zexuan's expression moved slightly, a little curious.

Zheng Yinhong said solemnly: "Zheng knows that Lord Hou has established a Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, and he has been fascinated. I wonder if Lord Hou can also let Zheng join the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce?"

One percent of the shares of Shenxian Tea Garden, for a membership of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, in the long run, he still has some losses, after all, the future potential of Shenxian Tea Garden is infinite! However, the reason why he made this suggestion is mainly because the dry shares of 40% of the gods tea garden are too hot, and 10% is divided to ask for a member of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, which can not only protect life, but also broaden the way for the Zheng family!

Li Zexuan pondered for a moment, nodded, and said: "Ben Hou has no opinion, but I have an idea here. Ben Hou took out 10% of the shares of the gods tea garden, boss Cao, boss Lin, boss Feng You can discuss a total of 10% of the original stocks of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce and distribute them to the owner of Zhengzheng, and as a reward, you will divide the stocks of the gods tea garden equally according to the corresponding proportion. How?"

At the beginning, the first batch of members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce were determined through auctions. The proportion of shares held by each person was determined according to the proportion of the money they paid, and they were later allocated from the workshop The quantity of goods is directly linked to the dry shares of the Chamber of Commerce held by them.

To put it simply, Li Zexuan is now using 10% of the dry shares of the gods’ tea garden that Zheng Yinhong has given away to exchange for 10% of the dry shares of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce with Cao Wendong and others. Anyway, this wave of exchange, he will definitely not lose, he still Controls 60% of the tea garden dry shares!

Cao Wendong and others looked at each other, nodded to each other, and said one after another: "I wish to follow the arrangements of Lord Hou!"

They are not stupid either. The goods Zheng Yinhong distributed from the Qiquge Workshop are to be transported to the south of the Yangtze River for sale, which does not conflict with their business at all! On the contrary, they can get involved in the tea business after owning the dry shares of tea gardens, and they could not get the dry shares of tea gardens, because their contacts can not help Li Zexuan build a tea garden, but now Li Zexuan Give them a chance, how could they better seize it?

Li Zexuan nodded with satisfaction, and said: "This way, everyone is happy! Later Ben Hou will mark the best locations of tea gardens on the map, and then the owner Zheng will help to build tea gardens in these places. As for the cost of building a tea garden, we will share it!"

Zheng Yinhong said: "Yes! Lord Hou!"

Li Zexuan smiled, then picked up the tea cup, and said: "Come on, everyone uses tea instead of wine to celebrate our Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce has added a new member today!"

……………………………

After discussing the construction of the tea garden, Zheng Yinhong took the map that Li Zexuan gave him that afternoon and set off for Jiangnan and Chang'an City. He asked Zheng Qianjun to stay and look after the team.

The map given to him by Li Zexuan~IndoMTL.com~ marked the best tea plantation sites. These sites are almost all places where Longjing tea is rich in previous life, such as Shifeng Mountain, Longjing Mountain, Qipan Mountain, Shangtianzhu, Weng There are dozens of peaks such as Jiashan, Yangmeiling, Manjuelong and Baihefeng. Li Zexuan wanted to quickly monopolize the producing areas of these high-quality teas by relying on the memory of his previous life. Even if someone later finds out a high-quality tea-frying method, the quality of the tea will be far inferior to the fairy tea!

Of course, in addition to the task of building tea gardens, Zheng Yinhong returned to Jiangnan this time. The top priority is to go to the existing tea hills and send people to pick a batch of fresh tea as soon as possible to make tribute tea. As for the fairy tea gardens, if you want to produce tea It is estimated that we will have to wait until next year, after all, we have to transplant tea trees!
